"I had the pleasure of having a phone interview with the general manager, Tom, who made a significant impression on me. I performed well during the interview, which took place just before Christmas on December 25, 2023. I've been a loyal fan of Olive Garden for the past 12 years, visiting numerous locations, even when I lived in Eugene, Oregon.
The reason I moved to Cape Coral with my adopted family was to be closer to their Italian relatives. I cherish the time spent here, although leaving Oregon in December 2019—after a long 3,000-mile drive to Florida—was bittersweet. Despite some challenging experiences along the way, I feel grateful to have settled in Florida.
A little about me: I was adopted in 1994 from a European orphanage, thanks to the generous donations of professional athletes who helped fund my journey to the United States. I'm now in my 30s, and I turn 36 on April 11, 2024.
I want to commend the entire team, especially Tom, for their dedication to providing excellent service and for treating everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or circumstances. My last name is Italian, and I truly appreciate the warmth and sense of community here in Cape Coral.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas today, December 25, 2023. Thank you for your hard work and for making Olive Garden a special place for everyone, including veterans, seniors, and patrons of all ages.
I look forward to a second phone interview for a host greeter position sometime in January 2024, and I'm excited about the opportunity! Your delicious pasta, ice cream, and overall service bring joy to our lives.
Stay wonderful, and know that you are valued! Love to all the employees at Olive Garden. Life is good!"
